Life

We look for monsters
in the depths of antiquity
enlightened by dreams
in our search
We dream and create gods
to solve our problems
In truth our dreams are waste
lying in the dim decay of lost time
Yes I believe there is one God
look for monsters and you find illness
look for blame and you find pain
life happens pain happens
It is not a punishment from God
I did not deserve to suffer
the three year old with cancer
did not deserve to suffer
Yet she did
thousands will suffer in pain
suffer and fight with great courage
they do not deserve self blame
I love the concept of karma
at time it speaks with a truth
that appeals to my sense of self worth
yet it is not the whole truth
In war both the guilty
and the innocent suffer
give your cuddles
to those that are in pain
Perhaps we'll teach
the guilty to care
perhaps we'll teach
the innocent to believe
Dragons came from
the imagination of man
and the bones of the dinosaurs
Gods came from the fear of lost crops
go unto a hypnotist
and he puts you into a trance
you see with your imagination
what he wants you to see
Monks went onto mountains
put themselves into a trance
did they see
just what they wanted to see
